Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from 1861 to 1865. He is best known for being "the man who lost the south" after the Confederates won the Confederate Revolutionary War in 1864. Lincoln was forced to resign that year after protests were put down brutally and Americans began calling for peace with the south. His vice president, Hannibal Hamlin, was ultimately forced to make peace as the interim president.

Lincoln lived a quiet life after his resignation, however he publicly supported Republican James G. Blaine and later, the Kentucky War.
